He gets humiliated and leaves his childhood town as he’s named a traitor. He comes back seven years later as a coach for the Indian Women’s Hockey team for the world cup. The hockey federation shows apprehension, as the women’s hockey team hasn’t won any matches.
Kabir coaches sixteen girls from various parts of India. Some of these girls are experienced in the game and some are talented beginners. He instills in them values like togetherness, pride, team spirit and putting the country above all differences. There are some initial conflicts amongst the girls with their egos at a clash. The Women’s team slowly wins matches and improves their skills with the guidance of Kabir and reaches the finals. India wins the World Cup and they get the welcome of heroes. Kabir’s dignity is restored.
